People who were talking about non-sporting wicket should not speak now. Three centuries. two five wicket hauls. Match ending on day 5. So the wicket was good for test. If wicket is not favouring fast bowler that doesn't means it is non-sporting. That way english wickets which don't favor spin are also non-sporting. Clearly it was Englands first inning batting which mad match one-sided. Also their decision to not include monty in team. So due to their own mistake England lost the match.

its only Sachin who should be replaced right now. It really time for him and now he looks like batting material of 25-30 runs max. He is great but its time for him. Also ja, Bhaji is a good idea as India will play on turning tracks, so taking 3 spinners is better idea than unfit bowlers. If you say Gambhir is not in form, then hopefully Rahane is the opther otion for India.

is politicain dhoni ur relative who scored 5 runs & missed two stumping should continue?
It seems India has got a nice replacement for Dravid at no. 3.Though it is early to say that but Pujara has shown some glimpses.Still Pujara has to score big in trying and testing conditions in overseas.

It's hard to say if Pujaara is upto Dravid's class, but only time (and a foreign trip) will tell. Karthik or Saha would be good keepers, however can't trust dunce-heard Viru or anyone else for captaincy.
